E-smoking is the Best Alternative to Tobacco Smoking

According to the survey done at the global level, there were 1,690,000 premature deaths from cardiovascular disease among smokers and 850,000 lung cancer deaths in 2000. In 2001, there were 118,000 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [COPD] deaths from smoking, worldwide. Today, heart disease is the leading cause of death among smokers. Smoking is bad for the heart, but the fact is, tobacco use plays a role in a huge number of diseases that eventually lead to disability and/or death.

The best alternative to tobacco smoking is e-smoking. E-smoking is increasingly becoming the most accepted substitute to conventional tobacco smoking.

What is e-smoking?


E Smoking refers to the inhalation of nicotine in the form of a vapor/steam. This is done with the help of an electronic device, which is also known as an electronic cigarette, e-cigarette, smokeless cigarette and so on.

How does e-smoking work?

E-cigarettes run on batteries. The device comprises a vaporizer, a battery and a cartridge. The mouthpiece of these e-cigarettes contains a disposable cartridge filled with liquid. The important substances in the liquid are nicotine and propylene glycol. When air flows through the apparatus, it is detected by a microprocessor. The microprocessor then triggers an atomizer, which instills tiny droplets into the air flow. This results in a vapor mist, which is inhaled by the user. The vapor resembles regular cigarette smoke due to the addition of propylene glycol. It not only replicates cigarette smoke but also the temperature of common cigarette smoke.

These cigarettes give smokers a real smoking experience without the ill- effects of traditional cigarettes. These cigarettes allow smokers to select the concentration of nicotine they prefer to inhale, which ranges from zero, medium to high levels. Each cartridge in these smokeless cigarettes lasts as long as 2 packs of real tobacco cigarettes, while its battery provides back-up equivalent to 15 tobacco cigarettes.

A high-quality e-smoking device has a disposable atomizer, so one does not have to replace the complete device in case newer technology is available. Besides, it is preferable to use an e-cigarette with cartridges that can be refilled, making it even more affordable.

Advantages of e-smoking
  • There is no harmful smoke and smell involved in e-smoking. It is thus very environment friendly.
  • There is no emission of harmful gases, such as tar, carbon monoxide, cyanide, ammonia and so on.
  • E-smoking keeps you free from bad breath and stained teeth.
  • It allows you to smoke anywhere and at anytime, even in no smoking areas.
  • It gives you the choice of selecting the level of nicotine you prefer to intake.
